Raiders beat reporter bold prediction: Zamir White finishes with more rushing yards than Josh Jacobs

This is, of course, a bold prediction. But it also comes from a very reliable source and comes with Josh Jacobs trending in the wrong direction.

Related Players: Ameer Abdullah, Brandon Bolden

Fantasy Impact:

The Raiders are currently carrying five running backs (plus a fullback), so if Jacobs really loses this much ground game work to rookie Zamir White, the veteran's fantasy season is going to be miserable. Amongst those other running backs resides Brandon Bolden, who has a rich history of catching passes out of the backfield in a Josh McDaniels offense.

Pelissero: Raiders plan to cut RB Kenyan Drake

The Raiders plan to release veteran RB Kenyan Drake, per source.

Related players: Josh Jacobs, Zamir White, Ameer Abdullah, Brandon Bolden

Fantasy Impact:

Raiders beat writer Maurice Morton added to Pelissero's tweet that he's "not surprised about this." He said Abdullah hasn’t played the last 2 preseason games and he clearly surpassed Drake on the Raiders RB depth chart. In his eyes, the depth chart goes: Jacobs, White, Abdullah and Bolden. Drake could catch on somewhere else but his role may not be as significant as it once was.

Raiders coach Josh McDaniels: no desire to trade Josh Jacobs "at all"

Josh McDaniels reiterated today that he is not exploring a trade to ship Jacobs out of Las Vegas.

Related Players: Kenyan Drake, Zamir White, Brandon Bolden

Fantasy Impact:

This is probably worse in fantasy land than if they simply found him a new home. It certainly raised some eyebrows when veteran Jacobs got some run in the Hall of Fame Game last week, a contest typically reserved for backups and players fighting for a spot on the roster, not RB1s. The Raiders already had Kenyan Drake in Jacobs' RB room before the team added Ameer Abdullah, Brandon Bolden, and fourth-round pick Zamir White. Jacobs is getting squeezed in every direction, but most discouraging, in the receiving game, where he doubled his career reception total in 2021 en route to his RB16 finish.

Raiders Beat: RB Zamir White impressing

The Athletic

Rookie running back Zamir White has impressed after missing the first two days of camp with an undisclosed injury.

“He’s tough, has good contact balance, and you can see the growth in a new system,” running backs coach Kennedy Polamalu said.

Fantasy Impact:

Jacobs finished RB16 last season with the 19th-highest per game production. He was RB9/RB13 the previous year. He was 13th in touches per game in 2021, so the workload was there despite so-so efficiency. He’s the RB22 off the board in early drafts, which makes some sense given the arrival of new HC Josh McDaniels, who ran an offense in New England that regularly featured multiple backs in various roles.
